User Image I have this problem with my girlfriend, she doesnt think shes pretty and me and several friends keep trying to tell her that shes pretty but my friends and her friends keep trying to tell her that shes pretty but she just doesnt get it. Has any one been in this situation before? if so do you have any suggestions?

Awww That's a big problem with most girls im afraid. Even I have those low self esteem moments too.
Just keep reminding her that she is God's creation, and all of God's creations are good, and BEAUTIFUL

Every girl has those moments where they don't think they're beautiful. If you are fearful that she is going to start doing some thing harmful to herself, then you need to talk to her, and encourage her to seek help.

Sounds like something internal; find out the problem if you can and or find out what she does like about herself and promote that. Be patient.

next time she says something like that, find the nearest guy that you don't know and ask him if he thinks she's pretty. Or you could say something along the lines of, "i only date pretty ladies."

I can't really help MUCH because my husband struggles with that issue with me. We settle on an even ground though with me being prideful on my cuteness. Try and find one aspect of her beauty she agrees with and never leave it alone?

she said shes trying to see her self as pretty but doesnt think shes as pretty as Lady Ga Ga who is her idol.

She shouldn't be idolizing any one. That's really harmful to self esteem.
She can still like Lady Ga Ga, but not compare herself to her.

She needs to know that she is beautfiul to you and that's all that matters.

she shouldnt focus on her outward beauty. true beauty comes from within.
her priority should be to be pleasing to God.
Gods word says that outward beauty is like putting a jewel in a pigs nose if there isn't inward beauty, wisdom, a meek quiet spirit, discreet.

i heard a saying that goes :
God is not pleased with fair of face
but strong in faith.

neither you nor your girlfriend should focus on her outward beauty. rather focus on obeying the Lord.

Proverbs 11:22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

well I agree with you to an extent because shes agnostic and I dont want to chase her away. I met her five years ago when I didnt believe in God and we've been going out for the last three years and shes made it clear that when she's ready to talk to me about god she will come to me. and I've already talked to her about her inner beauty but she cant sees having a hard time seeing her inner and outer beauty.

what type of advice are you most interested in?
advice based on Gods word or something else?
to be honest i dont think i have any other type of advice about how to make a girl who thinks she's ugly believe that she's pretty.
but i'll tell you a secret:
when i look good, and i would bet this goes for alot of girls, i dont need to be told really cos i already know it. i'm not saying this to sound conceited either. a woman/lady/girl pretty much knows when they look ugly and when they're looking good.
another thing...
one of the most annoying things i remember from high school (i am assuming that you and this girl are about highschool age) was when a pretty girl would whine and complain and go on and on about how ugly she was. either she has emotional problems hangups and misconceptions about herself or she was just fishing for compliments which is, well, pathetic.
as far as biblical advice -
if you're saved and she isn't saved. guess what?

2Corinthians 6:1 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

*shrugs* well hopefully some of that will be of help to ya. confused
